Production

Hum Tum was produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films and marked Kunal Kohli's second directorial venture following Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002). The film was loosely inspired by the 1989 American romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally.... Kohli later revealed that he had initially intended to remake the original, stating, “We approached the studio, which had the rights of the Hollywood film.

Kunal Kohli and Aditya Chopra initially approached Aamir Khan for the role of Karan Kapoor, but he declined the offer. The role was subsequently offered to Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi, both of whom turned it down. Kohli ultimately cast Saif Ali Khan, explaining, “I realised that the role needed a younger man—someone who could present a more youthful picture.

Rani Mukerji was cast as Rhea Prakash. The film marked her third collaboration with Yash Raj Films and second with Kohli, after Mujhse Dosti Karoge!. Kohli noted, “I always wanted to work with Rani and we shared a great equation,” while Mukerji called it a “special film” and said she “loved the script.”

Supporting roles included Kirron Kher as Rhea's mother Parminder, Rishi Kapoor and Rati Agnihotri as Karan's parents, and Jimmy Sheirgill as Mihir Vora. Abhishek Bachchan made a cameo appearance, while two animated characters, Hum (voiced by Parzaan Dastur) and Tum (voiced by Gayatri Iyer), were integrated into the narrative alongside the leads.

Principal photography began in 2003. A significant portion of the film was shot in Amsterdam, Netherlands, at locations including Museumplein, the National Maritime Museum, Rijksmuseum, and Dam Square. Additional sequences were filmed in Paris and in the United States, primarily New York City, as well as at Film City in Mumbai.
